" I E.L. Short, an acting Justice of the Peace in and for Miller County certify that on the 27th of May 1867 I solemnized the rites of marriage between Isaiah R. Bailey & Susan S. Stone both of the County and State above named." s/ E.L. Short JP

BIRTH: !Birth (1841) and death (1908) years from cemetery inventory and photo of tombstone taken Aug 2000. Conflicts with 1850 census which does not list Susan Samantha and with 1860 census which lists Susan as age 8. According to 1900 census, birth date is Nov 1850, which explains why Susan does not appear on the 1850 census.

CHILDREN:!1900 census Miller Co., states that Susan bore 14 children, 9 of whom are living in 1900. As of this date [20 May 2001], I have the names of only 10 of her children, most obtained from census records. It is assumed that the other children died as infants or young children between census years. Other sources need to be checked for these children.
